Some more guff on the 9-6x

A little more came to light on the forthcoming mostly-Saab SUV, the 9-6x. 
The full monty, as found at Autotrend:
Subaru announced the name for its 2006 seven-passenger crossover SUV at
the Miami motor show: B9X. The name seems designed to create confusion
with the Subie’s platform sibling, Saab’s 2007 9-6x, which will bow as
a concept this spring [...]

Oh, so cute.

Remember your first real experience with a Saab and all the things you noticed that made you think ‘Yeah, this might be alright’?
I think this might be a cadet journalist doing his first Saab motoring review.  Nice car to do it with, too.  A fully loaded Aero convertible.
Key cute observations:

It has a turbo guage!!
It has [...]

Autoweek look at the Saab 9-2x

This week internet car dudes Autoweek have taken a closer look at the Saab 9-2x.  What do they see?  Well, like all the BB stuff around the web that I’ve read, and all the stuff I’ve written here, they think the changes to the base Rex are worthwhile, that the car looks better as a [...]

Bunnies ‘n’ stuff

Recent news has pointed towards a [...]

GM vs Hog

Want a bit of an idea as to the trouble GM might be in (and by extension, Saab as well)?  With the announcement today that GM is cancelling it’s Zeta platform and doing a reshuffle, the news that follows seems quite timely.
10 years ago, Harley Davidson was in financial trouble.  Big financial trouble.  10 years [...]

9-6x Update

Ken, Saab-snifferdog extraordinaire and smiling Vancouverite has added a piece to the Saab 9-6x puzzle that I missed out on the other day.
Several sites have mentioned that the Saab version of the vehicle will only have  5 seats rather than the Suuby’s 7 seats.  As mentioned in comments, I agree that this decision will allow [...]
